As part of the new breed of metal hailing from the Southeast, Orphan Wells derives its roots from the post metal eras, rock, funk and basically anything with a driving groove. The group constantly experiments with new tonal sounds and unorthodox approaches to structure. This method creates haunting nuances and climatic hooks and bridges. Orphan Wells is a culmination of some very different musical approaches; each being a separate brick in the foundation coming together to make a new, Orphan Wells' signature. Riding the momentum of open-air festivals where they shared the bill with such acts as Papa Roach, Lit, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Live and Everclear and most recently Godsmack, don't expect this band to sit idle. There is no rest for the wicked, so expect to hear much more from them in 2008. --Matt Stone (Planet Z Radio)
